While the rest of us have been checking weather apps, debating the merits of opening windows after dark and wondering whether Gloucestershire has quietly relocated to Provence, he has adopted a far simpler strategy: finding the coolest patch of flooring in the house and refusing to move.
In an industry shaped by trust, long-term relationships and with the backdrop of challenging market conditions, the value of genuine partnerships has never been more important. Castellum’s annual Marbella golf tour continues to represent far more than a sporting fixture in the calendar.
Every so often, something happens that stops us mid conversation, mid site visit, mid everything really – and reminds us what it’s all actually about. This month, it’s not a project milestone or a beautifully finished staircase (though we do love those). It’s something much, much better…

The true story of a building is rarely written on its walls – sometimes it’s hidden beneath its floors.
